A platform engineer is at a customer site to replace a failed Dell EMC PowerScale Gen 6 node. After removing the compute module, they observe lit LEDs inside the removed node.

What is the recommended response?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

When a platform engineer removes the compute module from a Dell EMC PowerScale Gen 6 node and observes lit LEDs inside the removed node, this is a normal behavior due to the design of the node's power and indicator systems.

Reasons Why LEDs Remain Lit:

Residual Power:

The node's capacitors may hold residual power for a short time after shutdown, keeping LEDs lit temporarily.

Shared Power Supplies:

In Gen 6 nodes, power supplies may be shared between paired nodes, and some components might still receive power.

Recommended Response:

Proceed with the Procedure:

The lit LEDs are expected and do not indicate a fault.

The engineer should continue with the replacement procedure as per the guidelines.

Dell PowerScale Reference:

Dell EMC PowerScale Hardware Replacement Guide:

Section on Compute Module Replacement:

Notes that internal LEDs may remain lit after removal.

Confirms that this is normal and does not require additional action.

Safety Precautions:

Always ensure proper ESD protection when handling components.

Follow all recommended steps to safely replace hardware.

That's definitely not normal, they should shut down the partner node.

Based on my experience, the lit LEDs inside the removed node are not normal. I think the best course of action is to follow option A and shut down the partner node, just to be on the safe side.

I'm a bit confused by this question. The options seem to contradict each other, and I'm not sure which one is the correct response. I'll need to review the information more carefully.

This seems straightforward to me. The lit LEDs inside the removed node are not normal, so the recommended response is to shut down the partner node, as stated in option A.

Okay, so the question is asking about the recommended response when the engineer sees lit LEDs inside the removed node. I'm leaning towards option B - there's likely an internal electrical fault, so I should call support.
